The worm that squirms RSS satyagraha peters out on the third day
The above happen to be the 1.5 inch banner headlines in the daily Loksatta of Mumbai during November 1948.
The end of a triumphant epoch
"With the death of the former Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Shri Madhukar Dattatreya alias Balasaheb Deoras, the epoch of growth and glory in the history of that organisation comes to an end. After the death of Shri Golwalkar (Guruji) in 1973 Balasaheb took up the reins as the next Sarsanghchalak, apologetically describing himself as a candidate who clears the examination by having recourse to guide-books; Guruji on the contrary was a student who studied the original works. In the following two decades he steered the RSS ship with such consummate skill that he could prove to the world that he was no fumbling student struggling to get past the testing line but an experienced and expert worker who could ably guide society."
